Don 3: Heart's Desire

Chapter 12

The kiss felt like it had lasted minutes on end, but when she opened her eyes she realized it had only taken a split second.

She suddenly remembers the kiss in her dream, and finally she gets it... this, this closeness, it will be her undoing. Now she has no escape. She can't believe the way she is feeling, the way it all felt so right and so promising. She will be consumed in the fire of this passion.

She looked at him, trembling, her eyes wide with hope and fear combined, as he looked deep into her eyes, his gaze piercing into her soul.

'I've been wondering how you tasted ever since I first lay my eyes on you when Narang brought you to my office' he bit his lower lip, his voice husky. He then suddenly turned her so he was now facing her back, mimicking the way he turned her around when she tried to threat him with the swiss knife on his desk, but quickly leaned in and kissed the curve of her neck. 'My wildcat' he whispered in her ear then embraced her and starting moving again slowly to the music.

She shut her eyes tight, God this was confusing... what was she to do now? Every cell in her body wanted to turn around and kiss him again, surrender to him and just let go of all her doubts and fears. But... but...

'You're trembling' he turned her to face him again, looking worried 'I didn't mean to frighten you' he was frowning worryingly as he placed a lock of her hair behind her ear gently 'On the contrary' he almost whispered

She slowly nodded in denial and she felt tears form in her eyes but he leaned and kissed her forehead protectively and then gently wiped away her tears that were streaming down her cheeks 'I can't bare to see these beautiful eyes cry'

She looked up at him, who was this person? She had never ever thought Don could be so caring, so... human.

'I could lose myself in your eyes like this forever... if only you'd let me' he whispered as he caressed her cheek with his thumb.

Her heart was racing. She didn't know whether she was incredibly happy, or frightened or shocked.

'All this time I've been meaning to make you understand, Roma... ' he shut his eyes and placed his forehead against hers 'I don't want this life anymore... I'm sick of it' she could feel him frown 'I just want to... I just...'he then circled her waist and pulled her even closer, sinking his fingers into her velvety dress 'I just want you' he finally whispered and before she could react he kissed her again, this time more passionately, and Roma found herself responding, their kiss deepening.

They suddenly heard people screaming and gasping around them, and they flinched, parting and looked around. Don immediately took a step back letting go of her.

'Not so fast, Don!'
